High schools jump on ‘Bandwagon’ for charity

The Tamworth High School Auditorium was transformed on Wednesday night with a flurry of streamers and bunches of bright balloons in a bid to transform the lives of women and children in need.

The prefects of Tamworth High School, Oxley, Peel, McCarthy and Farrer jumped onto “Bandwagon”, an evening of food and music organised by the high school students.

It’s an annual tradition that was halted last year, while the auditorium was undergoing renovations, but the prefects have got back into the swing of things to donate the profits to the Tamworth Women’s and Children’s Refuge.

“We looked for charities that don’t hold their own fundraisers, and so they are only donation-based, and we chose the women’s refuge,” Tamworth High prefect Ryan McCann said.
